India has 70 years of democracy, but according to my coworkers there are just too many people (density) to enforce laws. You shut something down, there's another thing tomorrow

They have had democracy longer than typical, and are a challenge to explain in that sense, but not really stability or prosperity.

Whichever theory you subscribe to, this is an empirical observation. Visit Africa or Latin America or SE Asia and you'll see similar things. (And the first two can be pretty low density, FWIW)
